Jewel Encrusted Shade of Night

Jewel encrusted shade of night is crowned with a crescent moon Fools entrusted with the jaded light depart the earth all too soon The horizon abides the passing of time giving the stars a place to hide Setting the stage, paving the way for the new ones scheduled to arrive Acquiring minds stare at the sky hoping, dreaming, and wondering why But, anything of worth deserves the respect of being truly observed The jewel encrusted shade of night pulls the wool from our tired eyes Shining down the knowledge of the light a billion years comes into site Setting the stage upon mind, paving the way for all of mankind Acquiring minds decipher the code paving the road for others to find Jewel encrusted shade of night drearily makes its way across the sky Fools entrusted by the jaded light, know too well that it never dies But fails to realize that nothing can stop the unstoppable passing of time And the horizon will require the blazing red sun to crawl over its back Rising above, as it usually does rinsing the sky, of any traces of black Sad as it is to say good bye we sit and watch the death of a night
